[Verse 1]

Am  C                               Am
You think you own whatever land you land on
    C                                    Em
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
    Am           Em                F         C
But I know every rock and tree and creature
      Dm          G             Am
has a life, has a spirit, has a name
    C                             Am
You think the only people who are people
        C                              Em
are the people who look and think like you
    Am              Em             F         C
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
             Dm               F              C
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew


[Chorus]

Em       Am                             Em        F
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
   Am                               Em
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
        F                 G             Em         Am
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
        F                  C             Am
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
        Dm                 F             C
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?


[Verse 2]

     C              G                  Am
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
     C                                  Em
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
     Am              G           F          C
Come roll in all the riches all around you
        Dm         C      G            Am     G
And for once never wonder what they're worth
    C                 G            Am
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
    C                          Em
The heron and the otter are my friends
    Am            G              F      C
And we are all connected to each other
     Dm          F            C
In a circle in a hoop that never ends


[Chorus]

Em       Am                             Em        F
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
   Am                                Em
or let the eagle tell you where he's been?
        F                 G             Em         Am
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
        F                  C             Am
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
        Dm                 F             C
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?


[Bridge]

C   F             Em        Am
How high does the sycamore grow?
       Dm                      G
If you cut it down then you'll never know


[Chorus]

Em         Am                             Em        F
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
    Am                             Em
For whether we are white or copper skinned
           F                 G             Em         Am
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
           Dm                 Em            Am
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind


[Outro]

    Dm7
You can own the Earth and still
           Em              F
All you'll own is earth until
        Am         Em      Fmaj7  G      C
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
